In My Tribe

Awards season is upon us - yippee! I love the red carpet so...and so do lots of my girlfriends. In an effort to get some conversation going during this year's battle over best dressed for the Golden Globes, I decided to ask my tribe who they thought did it best. After all, I'm not the only one with an opinion.

Their picks:

Jessica Alba in Gucci (top vote-getter)


Salma Hayek also in Gucci


Charlize Theron in Dior


Nicole Kidman in Versace


Julianne Moore in Chanel Couture (jealous!)


Diane Lane in Elie Saab


My picks:
The aforementioned Diane Lane - how does she still look so good??

Rooney Mara in Nina Ricci (gratuitous black dress award since I looooove black dresses and French design houses)


And the eye candy award goes to Adam Levine in Tom Ford (aka God)


Thanks, ladies - appreciate you playing!

P.S. if you want a good look at a lot more dresses, Huffington Post has a nice little gallery with some of the dresses we didn't see on the tube.

SAG Showdown

The SAGs are one of those low-key Hollywood nights where it's nice to see people's true sense of black-tie style come out (or not). Sunday night's affair was a pretty good showing. I had to sit with the dresses for a few days to decide my favorites - but they ended up being the same as they were at showtime. Haven't I learned by now? One should always go with their gut.



Top billing goes to Amy Adams in Herve Leroux. I just love this dress, the hair and earrings. And no, it's not fit to total and complete perfection, but she looks amazing anyway. And, I hate big boobs, so the fact that her boobs aren't all over the place makes me happy.



Oh can I please wear Leah Michele's Oscar de la Renta for my 40th birthday party? And have her body to go with it? I adore this dress, her soft hair and simple makeup.

Honorable mentions go to January Jones for totally mixing it up from the Globes, Julie Bowen for wearing an amazing Malandrino jumpsuit and Hailee Steinfeld for being so darn cute in Prada.

Golden Girls

I feel a teeny bit of remorse today. I'm usually so even keeled, gracious and careful with my words in the hopes not to offend. However, in the Twitter-induced haze last night wrought, I may have been too harsh on the starlets, golden oldies and others in my criticism of the Golden Globes red carpet - perspective only 24 hours of distance can provide. The ladies looked lovely. However, I will caveat the below list of the well-dressed with my continuing assertion that there was a lot of disappointment for me in this year's Globes fashion round-up. With all of the A-listers in attendance, there was huge opportunity for a fashion extravaganza the likes of which we've never seen. Here goes anyway...

My pick for best-dressed is...

Hailee Steinfeld in Prabal Gurung

Runner-up...

Emma Stone in Calvin Klein Collection

Most interesting (without a doubt) and best hair...

January Jones in Versace

I could give worst dressed to a litany of people, but I'm going to award it to Helena Bonham Carter. Mostly I'm giving it to her because all of these fashion "experts" on TV are fawning over how much they love her for her originality and style. BS, there is just nothing stylish about her rat's nest of hair, dress or mismatched shoes from last night. She did it just to be the train wreck. Oh, and for most-overly praised, the award goes to Olivia Wilde. Sorry, it was just pretty...boring.
